The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Perhaps just as well. I think I would have preferred to listen to Yogi testify before the House Un-American Activities Committe. The looks on the faces of those posturing neofascist assholes would have been even more priceless than the look on Kefauver’s face during Casey’s diatribe.
.
Although in all fairness, Yogi jackalopes would probably outsell Omar jackalopes by fifty to one.

How tough was it to manage and all-star team that had an extra farm team in the same league? Remember Roger Maris for Hank Bauer? He said some funny things, but nobody put Yogi Berra on the list and he was funnier.

Unfortunately, he died at an early age as far as managers are concerned. Sparky Anderson has to be on the list like this.

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:49:21 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=4065#comment-31254Do the whole thing over in Casey Stengel and let it go at that. John McGraw would go better with Mt. St. Helens, and there’s probably a geyser somewhere that you could use as a mouth for a Nazca Line figure of Ozzie Guillen. I think there are one or two mud fumaroles at Yellowstone that you could convince people are really busts of Bud Selig – but hurry, that sucker’s gonna blow any day now.
.
But really, when you get down to it, who’s on Mt. Rushmore per se isn’t the question. It’s how many Omar Minaya jackalope head plaques you can sell at the tourist shops in Keystone.

Earl Weaver was another great manager
Leo Durocher
Lou Piniella
Tommy LaSorda
Sparky Anderson, especially with handling a mediocre pitching staff.
Whitey Herzog

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:47:14 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=4065#comment-31252Joe Torre? For many years one of the worst managerial records in baseball. Fired three times. Lucked into a job with a team that had already made the playoffs and had Jeter, Rivera, Pettite, Bernie Williams and Posada all in their primes. Won 4 WS in 5 years with the same core that he was not invovled in putting together. Single-handedly cost his team a chance at a few more with some bizzaro in-game managing (See Game 4 2003 WS, Jeff Weaver on the mound with Rivera in the bullpen; See Game 2004 Game 5 ALCS, extra innings, runner on base and not attempting a steal against Wakefield/Varitek).
Fixated on playing his ‘favorite’ mediocre players (Enrique Wilson and Miguel Cairo) while ignoring better players who weren’t (Kenny Lofton). Blew out seasons or careers of Sturtze, Proctor, Quantrill, Villone, etc.
On the other hand, maybe I demand too much as a Yankee fan.

It didn’t hurt that he had the Yankee team. Forget the Mets. Mack and MCGraw head the list as far as I am concerned, however Casey follows closely.
